The REGISTER recognizes, 40 doe
every one else who has considered tn
matter a moment, that lola cannot af
ford to support three papers. But /
also recognizes, in common " 18th every
one else, that, in what Ingalls, call
"the last analysis" there will be lief
one republican paper and one demo
cratic paper. and not two democratic
papers. For the reason, therefor
that it's own existence 10 nO
threatened, it has not thought
it to be in good taste to taxi
part in the discussion of this subject
that has lately been inaugurated. II
IL "none Of our funer al and while
we appreciate the friendly terms ir
which this paper has been mentioned
in the course Of the argument, we must
decline to be used either as q catapult
or az q shield by either Of our esteemed
contemporaries. Our position In this
war is one of strict neutrality and We
do not want to appear, even, to violate
the obligations which such . position
imposes.
Under the head of "SOme Lessons
in Ciyil Government" we present on
our last page brief summary Of the
laws pertaining to roads and road dis
tricts aud the manner in which these
affairs are conducted. This article will
be followed by others on school dis
tricts, townships. the county, and per-
haps the State and Nation, II the in.
terest in them seems to be sufficient to
warrant it. The articles will present
nothing startling or strange or new.
Any one with copy Of the Compiled
Laws of Kansas in his hand can find
therein every fact they will contain.
But there are plenty of good citizens,
particularly young men and women,
who have not, and cannot get, access
to this book; and it is they who, we
hope, will find the lessons" interest
ing and profitable.
''Hurrah for Cleveland!'
The,REGIsTER echoes the shout.
The President has forced the issue. 1t
is either free trade or protection from
now on. No more straddling Of the
question by the democratic party, no
more lettering with Carlisle on one
end of the plank and Randall on the
other. "Hurrah for Cleveland"
